Chapter 143: 143 Selling Weapons
Within the document, specify a list of weapons that the empire is ready to export to all four countries with prices on the back.
This was Zhao Lingxin's plan. Who wants to remove the imperial arsenal full of old, obsolete weapons like the Springfield M 1903 rifle and Maxim machine gun.
These old weapons have been retired in the military for a while. It has been replaced by newer weapons such as the AK47 and the MG42 machine gun.
Make these weapons that Zhao Lingxin has used since the beginning. Can no longer satisfy the needs of the various missions of the army. They were left to dust in the armory of the military.
Therefore, it is more beneficial to sell these weapons. To make money, make a salary for the empire. In addition, Zhao Lingxin also thought of selling the ammunition separately. Create a financial burden on these countries.
In all four countries, when they buy these firearms, they will encounter the harsh truth that they are already expensive in addition to weapons. Also had to pay a lot of money to purchase ammunition as well. Otherwise, the rifle in hand is no different from anything from a good piece of wood.
The empire and the government were not worried at all. If these outdated weapons will be sold to all four countries If they dare to insist, The B52 fleet is ready to bombard them immediately.
The price of the Springfield rifle was priced at 100 yuan each. And the Maxim machine gun is priced at 600 yuan.
When compared with the cost of one rifle it costs only 5 yuan each. Zhao Ling Xin increased the price of his weapon, 20 times the value.
Plus also took out the old things to sell as well. Hoping to sell once, get rich for the rest of the life.
But in the eyes of the four ambassadors who did not know the accurate price Looking at this price is very cheap compared to the powerful performance of hot weapons.
Their eyes shone at the moment they saw the price because the price was so worth it that they would trade everything for it.
"Datang will buy ten thousand rifles." Li Xian immediately spoke. He was afraid that this weapon would be limited in quantity. Datang couldn't lag behind other regions. Must have a modern weapon to use in the first place.
Datang took out one million yuan at a time. To buy ten thousand obsolete rifles, Major Li Wei couldn't help but smile. Because now his plan has been accomplished.
"Dayi, I want to buy ten thousand firearms as well."
"Da Jin would like to ask to buy ten thousand firearms too."
"Dalian also wants to buy three thousand firearms."
Only the Dalian ambassador ordered less than everyone. Because Dalian now has almost no money left. This budget to purchase weapons was the last sum that Dalian could offer.
Many nations spend their money all their lives to scramble to own these modern weapons, and In addition, the empire sold Maxim machine guns in large numbers. The four regions almost pulled out of every money they could find. Come and buy this kit of weapons.
In conclusion, the weapon purchase deal was valued at 5.5 million yuan. Once again, the government was able to absorb the wealth that the four regions had accumulated for a long time. Almost immediately they gain the money they need to use it for a long time.
After discussing the military aid, the agreement has been completed. All parties were smiling at the benefits. Four regions have modern weapons. The empire earns money.
All participants were satisfied with this exchange.
And now it's time for a meeting on economic aid.
Major Li Wei opened up a topic on this subject.
"Next is economic aid. Of course, according to the original rules, You have to exchange the things that are equal to the empire."
Everyone's faces in the meeting room became excited. Finally, this time, even if they had already received a piece of state-of-the-art equipment, economic matters are equally important. As everyone prepared to speak, Major Li Wei said a sentence, blocking them.
"I must initially warn you that our economic assistance is limited. You have to present the best conditions to our empire for your own good. Then we will consider it later. "
Major Li Wei's words made this an indirect reminder that I will open up an auction platform from now on. Anyone who gives a better price can take things. Of course, this speech would immediately create a divide in the four countries.
Initially, the four countries had secretly agreed that they would join forces to take advantage of unity, shatter resentment and turn to join hands together to absorb the empire's wealth.
Of course, ambassadors from all four countries did not know that there were artifacts capable of wiretapping in this world. The Bureau of Internal Investigation entirely uncovered their secret deal, directly addressed to Zhao Lingxin for what they secretly agreed.
Zhao Lingxin would definitely want to make heat on the four regions. He tried to encourage them to break among themselves. Of course, as this auction plan was fruitful, the four areas had already split up with each other.
Aid from the Empire is limited. They had to compete for a bid to deliver a good deal to the empire's satisfaction. The four ambassadors faced each other's eyes, revealing their hostility. Even before, they had a secret agreement between them. But when compared with the future of the nation, They immediately ripped off the previous deal and tried to get the best for themself.
"The Great DaTang region is pleased to give the Empire a tribute to paying 30 percent of the land income to the Empire." Li xian agrees to use the local fiscal income as collateral.
"The Da Jin region, we can give it 50 percent."
"Dayi region, we give up to 60 percent."
"The Dalian region, we agree to be a royal country." Because of the country's poverty, Even submitting a request that was absurd to the point of being a colonel of the empire raised all parties, eating smoothly, and finishing the deal.
Major Li Wei saw that the meeting had begun to go astray. The empire no longer needed a lot of money, including not wanting to have more cities, So he said.
"You guys must stop arguing. We have a better offer than that. And all people benefit as well." This moment is the most appropriate time.
Each side throws out unyielding benefits. Showing that they were willing to put in all their heads to get help from the empire, they Made it into the foreign ministry Major Li Wei handed everyone a set of documents.
"What is this?" Said Li Xian, curious. But when he read the details, he found the true purpose of the empire. The document indicates the precise location of each mineral. He was showing that the kingdom needed these ores. In which each region had to grant mining concessions to the empire.
"The Empire needs these minerals?" Asked Li Xian.
"You understand correctly. You can give us mining concessions without taxing," replied Major Li Wei.
"This is impossible. Datang, we are absolutely not willing to give you iron and gold. This is our strategic resource." Li Xian hurriedly refused. No matter how foolish he was, he could not let the country's significant mines go into the hands of the empire.
"What if the empire doesn't want iron and gold? Will you agree?" Major Li Wei pointed out that the empire needed other ores. Such as various heavy metals, tungsten, tin, zinc, mercury, chromium.
Li Xian listened to the names of many different minerals, causing his brain to agitate. Li Xian saw that these minerals were not necessary.
If the empire wants it, then let it go as long as the kingdom doesn't need iron and gold.
"If so, Da Tang agrees," said Li Xian.
At that moment, the long silent Dalian Ambassador said:
"In here, under the land of Dalian, are there so many materials?"
The document identifies many of Dalian's underground resources, where most of the land is desert. But this desert land is rich in natural gas and oil.
Since the empire can send a satellite to explore resources into space, the kingdom also examined a large number of resources in various territories. These resources are in great demand from the government. That wants to dig up as a resource of the empire.
The ambassadors of each region do not understand the importance of these resources. Even Dalian was delighted that his country suddenly has what the empire wants, So the Dalian Imperial Ambassador could hardly wait to hand over all the underground resources to the empire.
"If you guys agree, let's sign an agreement."
That evening, the five countries agreed on a negotiation with the empire. To deliver almost all underground resources was a concession to the empire. In exchange for economic aid and infrastructure development to be on par with the empire.
Including a military agreement that the empire will deliver weapons and equipment. Including selling ammunition to all four countries.
The ambassadors of the four provinces were rejoicing as if they had stolen a great benefit. They do not know how sad they will be in the future for signing today.
The relations of the five countries were delighted in the blink of an eye. The news was announced in the newspaper about the empire's appearance, which has become the true leader of the human kingdom.
